ArcGIS Enterprise: An IntroductionGerhard Trichtl

Matthias Schenker

What is ArcGIS Enterprise

ArcGIS Enterprise is powerful server software for data

management, mapping, and analysis that runs in your

infrastructure. It is made up of a system of components that

create a Web GIS that help you reach more people, through

any device.

• Hosted by Esri (SaaS)

- Upgraded automatically (by Esri)

- Esri controls SLA

• Esri-provided content and services

- Basemaps

- Living Atlas

- GeoEnrichment, Routing, …

ArcGIS Online ArcGIS Enterprise

• In your own infrastructure (Software)

- Upgraded manually (by organization)

- Organization controls SLA

• Advanced GIS functionality

- GIS Server

- Image Server (optional)

- GeoEvent Server (optional)

- GeoAnalytics Server (optional)

Core Web GIS functionality (Apps, visualization, smart mapping, analysis…)

Components

Hosting Server

• When setting up ArcGIS Enterprise you will designate one ArcGIS

Server as the hosting server.

• This hosting server is what powers your base ArcGIS Enterprise

deployment.

A multitier deployment

Or a highly available

deployment of any

ArcGIS

Server

Set up as a GIS Server

and configured as the

hosting server, ArcGIS

Server provides the

layers, services, and

horsepower required to

power your Web GIS.

Portal

for

ArcGIS

The web frontend and

infrastructure backend that

supports a user’s interaction

and overall experience with

your Web GIS.

ArcGIS

Data

Store

The Esri managed data

repository that stores the

spatial content that has

been shared to Portal.

Adaptor

An Esri built software

load balancer that

appropriately directs

network traffic and

serves as a reverse

proxy for Web GIS

access.

Demo: Publishing and

Sharing Content

Your Identity in ArcGIS Enterprise

• Identity is the basis of content security in ArcGIS Enterprise

• They can be built-in, added via SAML, or be imported from an existing identity store like LDAP

or Active Directory.

• The portal administrator will associate a level and role with your identity

• The role and level determine your level of access/privileges

User Levels

• Fewer privileges than a level 2

• Can be a member of groups, can view content

• Cannot create, modify, or save content

• Full privileges are possible

• Can create, modify, and save content

• Any named user from a deployment prior to 10.5 is a level 2

• Access to Ready-to-use Apps

Publishing & Sharing

• Sharing is how you allow others in your organization to see the

content you have published to ArcGIS Enterprise.

• There are three levels of sharing:

- Share with a group

- Share with the organization

- Share with everyone

• You can change the sharing settings of the content you create at any

time.

Groups

• When you want to share content with only certain individuals you

must create a group

• After you create a group you invite members to join the group, the

members must accept the invitation before they can see content

shared to the group

• Administrators can automatically add members to groups, bypassing

the standard invitation process

Sharing Beyond Your Organization

• Distributed Collaboration is how you can share content beyond your

ArcGIS Enterprise deployment

• Share to:

- Other ArcGIS Enterprise deployments within your organization

- ArcGIS Enterprise deployments in other organizations

- An ArcGIS Online organization you control

- An ArcGIS Online organization controlled by someone else

software component server capabilities

the thing you install what it can do

• Serve and manage geospatial

data for your entire organization

• Powers traditional GIS web

services and layers

• Serve advanced geoprocessing

tools to be used beyond

Desktop

Enables you to:

GIS Server

• Used as hosting server within the

base deployment

Standard Analysis Tools

• Ready to use tools as part of the base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment

• Output of standard analysis tools will be written to your relational ArcGIS Data Store

And more!

with Raster Analytics

• Mosaic imagery and process

dynamic raster models on the fly

• Use distributed analytics and

storage to accelerate raster

analysis

• Chain raster functions together to

create complex raster analyses

Enables you to:

Image Server

• Must be added to your base

deployment.

• Track things in real time

• Create geofences

• Perform geospatial and trend

analysis on streaming data as it

comes in

• Create event based alerts driven

by live geospatial data

Enables you to:

GeoEvent Server

• Must be added to your base deployment.

Spatiotemporal data store - optional

• Perform space/time trend

analysis on massive geospatial

datasets

• Accelerate analysis of large

datasets, even if they aren’t “big

data”

• Have an end-to-end solution for

working with large volume

datasets using the tools and

software you already know

Enables you to:

GeoAnalytics Server

• Must be added to your base deployment. Spatiotemporal

data store - required

Distributed Analytics

• Not a specific tool/toolbox, rather it is a way geoprocessing tools are computed

• GeoAnalytics Tools and Raster Analysis Tools use distributed analytics

• There are special considerations you should make regarding system architecture

when planning to use these tools

Geoprocessing job only runs on one machine in the site.

Geoprocessing job is distributed across all the machines in the site.

• Geospatially locate your target

market

• Create market analyses specific

to your geographic area of

interest

• GeoEnrich your business

intelligence data

Enables you to:

Business Analyst Server

• Must be added to your base

deployment.
